Safety
2.2.3 Risks due to electrostatic charge
WARNING
The high flow velocities during the airless spray process can
result in an electrostatic charge. Static discharges can result in
fire and explosions.
➤
Ensure that the machine is correctly grounded outside of EX
zones!
➤
Ground the object that is to be coated.
➤
Always use open containers!
➤
Never spray solvents or materials containing solvents into
narrow-mouthed cans or barrels with a bung opening!
➤
Set the container down on a grounded surface.
➤
Use electrically conductive containers.
➤
Always ensure contact between the spray gun and the
container wall.
➤
Only use electrically conductive material hoses. All original
material hoses from
WIWA
are conductive and designed for
our machines.
➤
Only use electrically conductive accessories / accessory parts.
WARNING
If the machine becomes contaminated with material during
operation, an electrostatic charge may be generated with the
increasing coating thickness. Static discharges can result in fire
and explosions.
➤
Clean the machine of contaminants immediately.
➤
Perform the cleaning work outside of EX zones.
2.2.4 Risks due to hot or cold surfaces
CAUTION
When using material heaters, the machine surfaces may become
hot. A risk of burns exists.
➤
When processing heated materials always wear protective
gloves with forearm protection.
